Yeah, not bad Noah. I didn't know that one, but then I'm not that into electonic/electromech locks. Quite an interesting concept, but I wonder how secure it actually is (as strong as the knobset it's on :wink: )

This one I don't know myself!

Postby greyman » 17 Apr 2007 18:13

OK, Here's one that I don't know myself! Can anyone help me to identify what model/manufacturer it is, and what the mechanism is (how many discs, etc).

Sorry i don't explain why it's a Fichet 666 and not a Fichet 690 as i have seen in another post.
The reason why it's a 666 is because of the side-bar. It's rond in the 666 (in the middle of the lock) and flat in the 690 (a little shifted up).
The 666 key is in iron and shorter than the 690 which have plastic head.

Thanks for those links. The lock looks pretty much the same. Not sure what the problem with the link was.

Merci! I'm not sure where I got 690 from, you seem to be right though based on the info on the web.

Unfortunately for Fichet, they are one of the most secretive lock making companies in the world and because of that, hardly anyone seems to know what the model numbers are for their locks! To Fichet, I say: wake up and put your product information on line like any other modern lock company. People will then make less mistakes when talking about your products.

Dear Greyman

The 690 does exist but it's ony sold for a restricted market : houses with low cost.
The 690 is a double cylinder (like the 484 or the 787) build for a non-mortice lock (i don't know the oposite word of mortice lock because i don't use any translater) with a defender.
The 666 is a monobloc cylinder for mortice lock without any defender.
For information 666 means juny (6th month) 1966.
The 690 means juny 1990.
If you need a photo i have some.
Regards
Fredmad
